A duo of outstanding antique Ferahan Sarouk carpets unify a gracious old-world living room in River Oaks residence.
The substantial age and character of many of the homes in Houston, Texas, especially in the River Oaks, Memorial and Piney Point Village neighborhoods where many of our clients reside gives an air of time past. A perfect example of exquisite pairing of our rugs with a client’s interior is the Houston client’s home pictured to the right (above on mobile). The open, expansive plan of a gracious living room is completed by the inclusion of two exceptional antique Ferahan Sarouk carpets. The duo’s magnetic artistry unites the spacious entertaining area into a cohesive series of intensely inviting, human-scaled spaces. The carpets deftly create distinct conversational zones, thanks to exquisite botanical tracery and dynamic color interactions that are the natural result of inspired, virtuoso weavers in complete command of their medium.
A grand antique Serapi rug provides the foundation for a library’s contemplative, genteel atmosphere in River Oaks residence. Decor by Marianne Michaels Interior Design.
Over the years, we have found that many of the beautiful, antique Persian rug styles Claremont deals in are ideal pairings with the decor styles of Houston homes. Pictured to the left (above on mobile) see how the incredibly intricacy and effortless balance of a 140-year-old Ferahan Sarouk carpet provides the ideal note of refinement upon which this elegant Texas library is based. Its warm, time-softened colors resonate to best effect in the subdued lamplight, where they beautifully complement the handcrafted wooden paneling and bookshelves. This Persian town carpet’s breadth of palette supports the comfortable yet sophisticated choices of fabric. We know creating inviting, gracious spaces is of the utmost importance to our Houston clientele and for this reason, we can provide expert consultative services like our In-Home Presentations to guarantee the most appropriate antique Oriental rug is placed perfectly in each client’s home.
